Abstract
This invention comprises a superconductive compound having the formula: Ni.sub.1-x M.sub.x Z.sub.y wherein M is a metal which will destroy the magnetic character of nickel (preferably copper, silver or gold); Z is hydrogen or deuterium; x is 0.1 to 0.9; and y, correspondingly, 0.9 to 0.1, and method of conducting electric current with no resistance at relatively high temperature of T>1.degree. K comprising a conductor consisting essentially of the superconducting compound noted above.
